Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

Prepare the cake mixture

Put into a food-processor bowl: 4 eggs, 150 g flour, 30 g butter, 10 g baking powder, 100 ml olive oil, salt and pepper.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 4 min.

Mix on slow speed until the batter is smooth.

Set aside in the fridge.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 5 min.

Prepare the fillings

Peel and finely chop 2 shallots.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 2 min.

Melt 30 g butter in a large frying pan, then add the shallots, salt and pepper.

Cook for 1 minute without colouring.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 3 min.

Add 100 g cooked spinach and cook for a further 2 or 3 minutes to wilt and slightly "dry off" the spinach.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.

Dice 100 g Comté cheese quite small.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 2 min.

Make the loaf

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Mix the spinach (when cold) and diced cheese into the batter.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 2 min.

Pour into a loaf tin or mould.

Note: As always with cakes, if you want a nice opening on top when baking, try this very effective trick.

Stage 9 - ⌛ 45 min.

And bake for about 45 minutes.

Check if the loaf is cooked after 30-35 minutes.

Remarks

If you do not have any Comté, you can use another kind of cheese (Gruyère, Beaufort, etc.), or even opt for a quite different character by using goat's cheese.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Framboisier

This is a classic French raspberry-flavoured dessert. It generally consists of raspberries in cream sandwiched between two layers of cake. In this version, the cake is genoa sponge and the cream is vanilla-flavoured and mixed with mascarpone. This is just as good made as a large rectangle or, as here, in smaller round individual servings.
